Library holds are a magical, magical thing. The backseat of my car is filled with heavy hardcover books. I have no regrets.
1. Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons (Already finished! First book read in March. I don't care what anyone says: I LOVE the footnotes.)
2. The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
I'm going to be really honest here: I fell in love with the cover and I almost fell over when I saw how big this book is. At 804 pages, it may be the longest book I've read since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. (Apparently The Cider House Rules was 973 pages but that wasn't a hardcover).
3. Blood of Tyrants by Naomi Novik
The elusive 8th book in the Temeraire series...it took so long to get this one in that I'd already finished City in the Middle of the Night and started Ruin of Kings, and I'm reading Priory before this one because other people are waiting for that.
4. Off the Sidelines by Kirsten Gillibrand
I decided to read as many books as I can by next election's presidential candidates.
5. The Truths We Hold by Kamala Harris
See above.
6. The Senator Next Door by Amy Klobuchar
I'm really dedicated. And I can't believe how easy it was to get all these out of the library.
7. Stoned: Jewelry, Obsession, and How Desire Shapes the World by Aja Raden
Diamonds in the Library has me way more interested in jewelry than I ever thought I would be, but, you know, mostly in reading about it.
8. The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
...I didn't think I'd get it that fast. Oops.
